Upon hearing the words "cannot," Xiong Jun's small eyes widened. His limited brain capacity soon realized that he would have to serve as a sparring partner, possibly even suppressing his cultivation to match Xiao Wu's level.
"I really don't want to do this."
Though he said this aloud, constrained by the imposing aura of Emperor Tian, Xiong Jun could only suppress part of his cultivation, reaching a level similar to Xiao Wu's. "Alright, considering my current cultivation, if we measure it by the soul power level of human soul masters, I'm at the Soul Emperor level. However, I am the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear, capable of battling a millennium after just a century."
"Little rabbit, I'll give you a chance to submit to me, and I'll spare you."
"Giving you a bit of time to consider..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiong Jun suddenly felt his vision blur, and Xiao Wu vanished before him. Alert as he was, his eyes widened in agony as his massive body knelt to the ground.
With her actions, Xiao Wu successfully twisted the face of an untransformed bear.
Emperor Tian's eyelids twitched as he couldn't help but place his hand on his back.
Biji, Ziji, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were equally stunned.
The soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest were diverse, including scavengers, but for beasts like Emperor Tian, battles should be honorable. How could they resort to such means?
And it's not like they were hunting for food, either.
Pah!
Even if they were hunting, they wouldn't stoop so low!
Xiong Jun's massive body, over twenty meters tall, trembled as he struggled to rise, glaring fiercely at Xiao Wu. "You bastard, attacking where I defecate, are you a scavenger dog?"
Scavenger dogs, canine soul beasts living on the edge of the Star Dou Forest, primarily fed on the rotten leftovers of other soul beasts. They also attacked small herbivorous soul beasts, but their main method of attack was "anal probing," using claws and sharp teeth to tear at the anus of those herbivorous soul beasts, extremely despicable.
Mocking Xiong Jun, Xiao Wu chuckled coldly, "Rabbits are quite cunning, and the weaknesses of fierce beasts are quite obvious."
"Roar!"
Enraged, Xiong Jun's aura reached the level of a Titled Douluo as he pressed toward Xiao Wu, "This is no time for jokes; today, I'll teach you, an ignorant rabbit, a good lesson!"
"Hehe, being tall doesn't make you superior, huh?" Xiao Wu noticed that although Xiong Jun's aura rivaled that of a Titled Douluo, his cultivation was still equivalent to a Soul Emperor.
Tsk, quite disciplined, or is it because Emperor Tian is nearby, so he has to consider his feelings?
Makes sense, after all, Emperor Tian is the king of these beasts.
Facing the charging Xiong Jun, who moved like a steam locomotive on all fours, Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't foolishly confront him head-on; instead, she leaped into the air.
The purple light of her second soul ring flashed.
Instantly, Xiao Wu envisioned a future scene three seconds ahead—before she could land, Xiong Jun abruptly twisted his body, his claw swiping fiercely toward her, sending her flying a kilometer away and leaving five large gashes on her abdomen.
Snapping back to reality, Xiao Wu spun her body in midair, narrowly dodging the massive claw that suddenly swiped at her from below. She then shook her head, and her long hair behind her wrapped around the base of one of the claws.
Using the momentum of that swing, Xiao Wu jumped onto Xiong Jun's shoulder, and from the white jade belt around her waist, she drew two short blades with red backs and silver edges.
These two knives were forged by Tang San in the past two years, using five-stripe copper and five-stripe iron, with the copper forming the back of the blade and the iron as the cutting edge, making them the perfect combination of metals with five stripes.
Under the infusion of soul power, the ten energy circuits on the two short knives began to operate, continuously drawing in the surrounding energy of heaven and earth. Combined with Xiao Wu's own soul power, they formed twenty flowing streams of flame-like energy.
In that instant, the third soul ring, fourth soul ring, and fifth soul ring all flashed together.
The True Spirit Bone activated, and two symmetrical golden dragon patterns spread from the spine, covering the entire torso, even extending to the limbs and head.
The Lightning Bolt skill activated, causing dragon-scale-like patterns to appear on Xiao Wu's legs, with tiny sparks of electricity emanating from them.
The Flashing Flame Fist technique activated, injecting the energy of her soul skill into the short knives in her hands, making the flames on the blades even more intense.
Snap!
At that moment, Xiong Jun, who had reacted, immediately raised his paw to swipe at Xiao Wu's standing shoulder, but he felt nothing.
"Missed?"
Just as Xiong Jun was puzzled, he suddenly covered his nose and let out a howl.
"What's going on?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion saw two deep wounds, about half a meter long, on Xiong Jun's nose, but couldn't see Xiao Wu's figure. All he saw was Xiong Jun continuously surrounded by flickering electric and fiery lights, followed by appearing blackened wounds emitting a scent of flesh, making him unconsciously swallow his saliva. But he suppressed the desire to eat and asked Emperor Tian beside him.
"That's extreme speed!"
In fact, Emperor Tian couldn't clearly see Xiao Wu's true form at this moment either. He could only see Xiao Wu swiftly flashing around Xiong Jun, and he could even hear explosions.
That's running on air!
"The Dragon Rabbit is naturally very fast. She can temporarily run nine steps in the air. She inherited this ability, coupled with the Dragon Scale Rabbit from the fourth soul ring and the Flashing Flame Rabbit from the fifth soul ring. As for the sixth soul ring... although she hasn't used any soul skills, it possesses both spiritual and spatial attributes, probably the Spiritual Space Rabbit."
"It can be said that while strengthening the Rabbit's flexible bones, she continuously enhances her speed, especially with the sixth soul ring, which further enhances her spatial essence."
"Her speed has already reached its peak, or should I say, reached the peak as we perceive it. If she continues to strengthen herself, she can become even faster in the future."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was puzzled. "Is being fast really that formidable? Even Xiong Jun isn't a match?"
"If it's just speed, naturally, it's not formidable," Emperor Tian shook his head, "but her strength is not weak either, or I should say, her physical quality is extremely strong."
Biji was puzzled, "By rights, as a true transformation, her body shouldn't be that strong. The strongest aspect of a human body is soul power and mental strength, not blood and energy."
Ziji was also confused, "This transformed rabbit's strength is already comparable to dragons of the ten-thousand-year level... Is it because of the soul rings?"
"No," Emperor Tian shook his head again, "we soul beasts don't use knives, and soul rings cannot strengthen the body to such an extent. It should be a means of enhancing physical quality and attack techniques learned from humans... Golden Lion, do you see anything?"
"What can I see?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion showed a speechless expression for the first time. There was a trace of inexplicable longing in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He said, "At most, I can see that she's entangled with that Son of Destiny. Hmm... it's probably similar to becoming the Son of Destiny's partner?"
Just then, Xiong Jun suddenly erupted with a strong aura, his suppressed cultivation bursting forth, creating a huge wave that instantly sent Xiao Wu flying out and even caused the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside Emperor Tian to somersault.
"Hmm?" Emperor Tian's eyes flashed with anger. He instantly transformed into his true form of a Black Dragon with Golden Eyes, pressing down on Xiong Jun with one claw. With a loud crack, Xiong Jun's right arm broke. "You have harmed the destiny of the Star Dou Forest!"
"Have mercy, Emperor Tian, I was wrong!" Xiong Jun realized his sudden outburst had caused the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nearby to be injured and immediately begged for Emperor Tian's forgiveness.
Moreover, he would have to find a way to appease the Three-Eyed Golden Lion afterwards. Otherwise, as the embodiment of the Star Dou Forest's destiny, if he accidentally harmed her, the destiny of the entire Star Dou Forest would backlash against him.
By then, all sorts of misfortunes would befall him!
No! The backlash has already begun!
His right arm was broken by Emperor Tian, with some bones shattered and muscles necrotic. To fully heal from this injury, it would take at least a millennium without the help of Biji!
That's the best proof!
"Hmph, I'll spare you this time, but it won't happen again." Emperor Tian released his claw and looked towards Xiao Wu, who was dusting herself off nearby. Seeing that she was uninjured, he nodded slightly and said, "Since you have condensed your soul rings, you can go."
"Why aren't you welcoming me to stay here?" Xiao Wu walked up to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and raised her hand to pat its head. "This place is my home too."
Seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's dissatisfaction with Xiao Wu's touch, Emperor Tian wanted to bite but seemed hesitant. His brow furrowed, and he finally sighed, saying, "Alright, do as you please. If you want to train, I will have Ziji, Red King(Scarlet King), and Yao Ling accompany you. These three have better temperaments... Oh, by the way, do you know about something?"
"What is it?" Xiao Wu boldly mounted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's back, startling all the fierce beasts present, including Emperor Tian.
After a while, Emperor Tian reacted and asked, "It seems that the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion from the extreme north has disappeared. Do you know the reason?"
"Do you have a connection with the fierce beasts from the extreme north?" Xiao Wu was surprised.
"We do, but the fierce beasts there don't obey my commands," Emperor Tian admitted truthfully, "But soul beasts are subjects of the master. She communicated with me three years ago..."
Three years ago?
That was during the Soul Master Tournament... In other words, the contact between this avatar, Gu Yuena, and the dormant main body is limited, or once it exceeds a certain distance, communication becomes impossible.
After all, Gu Yuena has seen Dance of the Dragon and Dance of the Tang, and she knows about the existence of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Extreme Fire Tianmeng, and the Extreme Ice Tianmeng.
Or perhaps the main body, Silver Dragon King, never intended to inform Emperor Tian of the outcome?
"I naturally know about the disappearance of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and I also know that she's dead," Xiao Wu pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Dead!" Emperor Tian was shocked. "How did she die?"
"She appeared in the Soul Master Tournament, together with the Ice Silk Iceworm, choosing a human. It seemed like she wanted to help him break through the hundredth level and then seek revenge against you." Xiao Wu's words made Emperor Tian feel like it was an unrealistic scenario.
But after careful consideration, he realized that it might indeed be something that creature was capable of. Breaking through a hundred thousand years in a state of insufficient origin, with a weak aura that couldn't be sensed by the divine realm, and wanting revenge, choosing a human to cultivate into a god was not impossible... Compared to the transformed soul beasts, this was the real betrayal!
Xiao Wu continued, "Unfortunately, the chosen human was too foolish and was punched to death by the Son of Destiny."
Emperor Tian and the other fierce beasts: "..."
So casual!
